Synopsis

Tom and Gerri - yes, they know their names make people laugh - have been happily married for most of their lives, which makes them a rare thing in film. It also makes them unusual among their friends, and that's where the drama comes in. Made by one of Britain's best directors, Another Year is a brilliant look at how some people manage to make the best of things, and others don't. Be aware, it does takes its time to tell the story, but if you have the patience, you will get a lot out of it.

What our educators say

"Some of them saw a clip from Wakolda (The German Doctor) on TV recently and really wanted to watch it. So I thought I’d take a chance, not expecting them to watch the whole film but the majority were absolutely gripped. "
